Hi LisaMac, No, the navigation will pause if there's an incoming call and will continue after the call. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

So I guess one can make calls with the Viewpad 7 but not receive data, if I understand you correctly. I am new at this, hence my checking on it! Thanks!!

No. Very unhappy with this purchase. I have missed countless calls with this device.

...sorry. In complaining I realized I didn't answer your question. Yes...when it works, you can surf and talk...but you may drop your call or your signal. ...it's very frustrating.

In theory you can have ship to shore communications on some channels but under very limited circumstances. It should involve necessary communications that are germane to water navigation, not grocery lists or where you want to eat that evening. You can always tune in and listen anywhere.

Yes. Just pick up the receiver and press talk as if you were answering the phone and both of you will be able to talk.

You can press the button on the headset to answer the call ,but the call gets routed from the phone to the headset. So you need it nearby .

I've not seen that ability in the menus. Only to connect to a phone and to use the GPS as the audio.

It also can depend upon what phone you have. With my older Droid, I had to tap a button on the FREEWAY to begin a call. However, with my new Samsung Galaxy S5, I only have to say, "Hi, Galaxy," and I can initiate call or navigation and probably other functions I haven't discovered yet - all using nothing more voice commands via the Jabra FREEWAY. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Unfortunately you can't, but you can always just use your smartphone to take the call - Renny will not interfere with the call if you answer on your phone (unlike any other device on the market, and this is part of our patented technology). Hope this helps!

If you are referring to a phone set that is within the system, the answer is "yes". For example, I answer the phone, but the call is for my husband who is busy in his office. I can put the call on hold, use the intercom to ask if he wants to talk to the person calling, and then go from there. Or, by pressing the intercom button, if you have several handsets, scroll the up/down arrows to select a destination and then press the "select" key.

Yes but not simultaneously (obviously). Say your speaking to someone on a land line call and someone else calls in on the cell line, you can't just "flash" over to the new call, you have to put the first caller on "Hold" (there's a button for that) then answer the cell call. Then if you want to switch back over to the land line call you will have to put the cell call on "Hold" the switch back over to the land line call. It's not difficult, you just have to remember that you can't flash back and forth between callers. You need to remember to use the "Hold" button otherwise you will hang up on one of your callers.

I have two cell phones (different numbers) as well as my original land-line connected to this system. When the Bluetooth signal is within range (+/- 75 feet of the base) all calls, to all numbers, ring the handsets. Therefore you can pick up any incoming call for any number, from any phone, including your cell phones (assuming the call was for one of the cell phone numbers. Land-line calls are obviously not routed through your cellular device). As for outgoing calls, once again, you can either call from your land-line or call from either of the two cell phones with no special requirements. Just pick up your phone and dial. No "unpairing" required whatsoever. Oh, and any incoming text message for your cell phones causes the system to ring (a different ring versus the "regular" ring) and announce "text message". Handy but i assume you can turn off that feature if you don't want to hear it. Hope that answers your question.

Yes to make and receive phone calls but nothing else. I wasn' t able to use its applications nor download applications. I honestly lost my money. I really regreat it!

Yes you can. Place the call on hold, before you hang up the handset press the extension, announce the call and then hang up the handset.

Yes. There is a switch that allows the choice of a 5 minute delay or a 30 minute delay after which the calls are initiated.

Switching is as we imagine!! If you have 2 sims working (1 for voice / sms, 1 for data), you can receive calls from both carriers!! Even if you have an open call you can receive an incoming call from the other sim!! I have one for data and other for calls, but both receives calls!! When you want to call your phone system ask what sim to be used!! When you send sms, system also ask what sim to used!! I love this!!
